Listen "Emotional Self-Harm: How to Unlearn the Inner Critic and Rewrite Your Story of Self-Worth"
Episode Synopsis
Explains the concept of emotional self-harm, defining it as invisible self-punishment through guilt, overwork, or constant self-blame that severely impacts self-worth and mental health. It clarifies that this behavior is often hidden in everyday habits like denying personal needs or overachieving, and psychologists link it to internalized self-criticism and unresolved emotional trauma. These patterns often originate in childhood through emotional neglect or constant criticism, leading to the development of an "inner critic" that mirrors the individual’s voice but echoes past harmful messages. Ultimately, the text emphasizes healing through awareness and self-compassion, highlighting that these learned behaviors can be unlearned to rewrite one’s narrative and cultivate a kinder way of living.Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
